Phys.org / Adaptive method helps light-based quantum processors act more like neural networks
Machine learning models called convolutional neural networks (CNNs) power technologies like image recognition and language translation. A quantum counterpart—known as a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN)—could ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals unexpected link between dopamine and serotonin in the brain
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Columbia University and the University of San Francisco, have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which dopamine, a key brain chemical vital for movement and motivation, can affect ...
Phys.org / Puzzling ultraviolet radiation in the birthplaces of stars
Researchers used the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify the presence of ultraviolet radiation in five young stars in the Ophiuchus region, and to understand its role in the formation ...
Phys.org / Cooperative mammals show lower cancer rates than solitary, competitive species
Cancer is a common disease among mammals, but some species, such as the naked mole rat and elephants, have evolved resistance. According to new research published in the journal Science Advances, this may be because these ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop one-product-fits-all immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is among the deadliest forms of cancer, with most patients diagnosed after the disease has already spread throughout the body. The five-year survival rate for metastatic cases hovers around 2–3%, and median ...
Medical Xpress / Narcissism and its role in sexually motivated serial killers
Researchers at the University of Bamberg have traced a darkly intricate form of narcissism in sexually motivated male serial killers, reporting that many offenders combine brittle sensitivity with a craving for admiration ...
Phys.org / How carbonates influence CO₂-to-fuel conversion: New insights from gold electrocatalysts
Researchers from the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society (FHI) have uncovered how carbonate molecules affect the conversion of CO2 into valuable fuels on gold electrocatalysts. ...
Medical Xpress / Newly identified immune cell type could hold key to preventing scar tissue buildup in wounds
Researchers at the University of Arizona have uncovered a previously unknown population of circulating immune cells that play a critical role in fibrosis, the buildup of scar tissue that can lead to organ failure and disfigurement. ...
Phys.org / Study asks AI to generate male and female body images—with predictable results
Researchers say today's AI platforms often default to common biases and stereotypes when prompted to generate images of people, including athletes.
Phys.org / Using peat as sustainable precursor for fuel cell catalyst materials
Iron-nitrogen-carbon catalysts have the potential to replace the more expensive platinum catalysts currently used in fuel cells. This is shown by a study conducted by researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), Physikalisch-Technische ...
Tech Xplore / New model measures how AI sycophancy affects chatbot accuracy and rationality
If you've spent any time with ChatGPT or another AI chatbot, you've probably noticed they are intensely, almost overbearingly, agreeable. They apologize, flatter and constantly change their "opinions" to fit yours.
Medical Xpress / Myeloid mimicry enables kidney tumors to resist immunotherapy and worsen rapidly, study finds
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have found that renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) cells use an adaptive mechanism called "myeloid mimicry" to hide from the immune system and promote disease ...
